No. rpm.specs are supposed to be independent of the context they are 
being built in (... koji, mock, plain rpmbuild or whatever).

I.e. if at all, then it should be rpm which sets something of this kind 
(I am not proposing it to do so.)

ATM, packages need to take precautions that autoinstall doesn't run by 
themselves.
